Download As PDF : The Hex Breaker Eyes eBook SD Tennant 
Small-town fifteen-year-old Mindee Vefreet thinks she’s going crazy when she sees a girl from school glowing in the dark. But when bad things start to happen around the glowy girl, it quickly becomes clear that what Mindee’s eyes can see is very real, and very dangerous.
Mindee is a seer, able to see hexes clinging to the victims of black magic. With no knowledge of magic or the occult, and no experience in breaking spells, attempting to break the hex seems almost impossible. Soon other people are getting hexed, the magic is turning lethal, and Mindee is drawing dangerous attention.
Because, to a certain type of witch, the only thing better than a good seer is a dead seer.
The Hex Breaker Eyes eBook SD Tennant
I really enjoyed this book, and was surprised to see on goodreads that S.D. was a man. I say that because the main character is female, and usually I can tell when female characters are written by men. Maybe it's just I'm not particularly girly, so a less girly girl seemed good to me, I don't know. Anyway, I liked that Mindee didn't do lots of stupid stuff all the time like refusing to tell people about her stalker for no apparent reason and things like that. I mean, are real women that way? And she wasn't always thinking about boys, either. Occasionally she did, but not enough to get annoying. Two thumbs up to S.D. for creating an interesting character without a love interest (or a love triangle, uhg.) I don't MIND a love interest, but I've found that writers tend to rely on them and add them when it's not really great for the story. I also liked that Mindee was proactive even though she wasn't exactly excited about her situation. Yes, she has a special ability, but no, she's not just driven along by fate. Oh, and while the book stays open for sequels, it's not a cliff hanger. Thumbs up again.Mindee IS a 15 year old girl, and the book is definitely intended for a young audience, but I still had fun with it. The writing was good, with few typos, although the Canadian spelling did throw me off a few times :). The only thing I really didn't like was that it's told in the present tense. I don't enjoy that in general, and there were a couple times near the beginning where the tense shifted, which confuses and annoys me, but after that there were no more issues. I'm glad I didn't put it down when I first came across those shifts because it really was a fun read.
Language: There is some profanity. Not every other word, or anything, but enough that those sensitive to it might get annoyed a few times. I believe the book is intended for older teens.
Sexual Content: None.
Overall Message/Plot: No messages that I noticed, but the plot was well done and the rules were followed. There were times when I questioned whether the author was breaking his own rules, but when I went back to check, it turned out I had just misread something or misremembered. I will definitely be getting book two, The Hex Breaker's Heart.

The Hex Breaker Eyes eBook SD Tennant Reviews
(Full disclosure I received a free electronic copy of this book for review through Library Thing’s Member Giveaways program.)
I wasn’t frightened until the girl started to glow in the dark.
“You seriously can’t see that?” I ask my best friend.
“See what?” [...]
Across the street from us, a girl is glowing. Well, I shouldn’t say that. It’s not like she’s painted in neon green body glitter or anything. But this girl’s got a real sort of, well, glow. There’s yellow light radiating from her. She looks like a low-watt bulb. I swear she does.
But Tamara doesn’t see it.
***
Fifteen-year-old Mindee Vefreet is just your average Wilfred Laurier Secondary School sophomore. Sure, maybe she’s not the most popular girl in school; her family doesn’t have a whole lot of money, and after her mother was institutionalized for schizophrenia, the kids at school started to whisper behind her back. And right in her face. You’d think that after her mother died, they’d back off just a bit – but you’d be wrong. Even now, years later, Mindee’s known as ‘the daughter of that psycho.’
But, for all intents and purposes, the only exceptional thing about Mindee is how unexceptional she is.
Until, one day, she isn’t.
One day, and quite unexpectedly, Mindee discovers that she’s a seer her mind is open to magic, and she can see hexes manifest in their victims in the form of a glowing light. When Dina Jennings, a popular Mean Girl senior, begins to glow yellow, Mindee thinks that maybe she’s losing it like her mom. But when the light seems to interact with its surroundings in a very real and physical way – causing all sorts of misfortune for Dina – Mindee is relieved. And not a little scared. If she’s not going crazy, then just what the hell is going on?
With the help of her friends – BFF Tamara, Tam’s boyfriend Ryan, and their anime- and occult-obsessed friend Marlene – Mindee sets out to learn more about this strange and unwelcome new gift, and save Dina from a seemingly minor hex that’s continuing to escalate with its caster’s anger. Though they are able to find and destroy the talisman that binds Dina to her wenemy (witch enemy! you like?), in so doing they attract the attention of an older, more powerful practitioner of the dark arts. And she desires their very souls.
The first of a planned trilogy, THE HEX BREAKER’S EYES is a quick and enjoyable read it’s kind of like MEAN GIRLS meets that one episode of SUPERNATURAL. (Malleus Maleficarum. OF COURSE I’m talking about Malleus Maleficarum!) I wasn’t quite sure what to expect – when it comes to books, I usually prefer science fiction to fantasy, even fantasy of the paranormal type – but I was pleasantly surprised. This book is hella fun. The narrator’s voice feels real and believable, and the plot moves quickly. In fact, Tennant doesn’t waste a second – he delves right into the story on page one (see the excerpt above), and takes off running. I can’t wait for the next books to drop!
My only complaint? The copious use of the b-word. Gendered slurs are not cool, yo!
Kept me interested through the whole book. Found a couple of spelling errors but that sure didn't stop me from reading too the end!
This book grabs you from the get-go! Hexes, student body elections, lockers and spoiled skanky teenage girls who turn out.....
OK?
Great characters, pacing, plot and adventure. The suspense of suspecting different characters keeps you racing through the book to see what happens!
The story wasn't engaging enough for me. What's more, I couldn't empathise with the heroine Mindee as she also turned out quite flat and one-dimensional. The villains themselves were all cut from the same mould - there is nothing distinctive about them, except for age, I guess. The challenge of the first-person narrative is to bring out the heroine's observations to flesh out the other characters. Unfortunately, that wasn't accomplished. The author needs to work on that.
Quick read. Enjoyed the originality of it. Liked the characters. The ending took a moment to grasp. I will most likely read the next books in the series.
A glowing girl? That’s not something you see everyday.
Mindee is seriously questioning her sanity, especially when seeing a glowing left foot predicted a girl would slip and fall. Was she psychic? For a high school girl, that would be a lot to handle. Turns out that she could see the hexed and the glowing girl was hexed. A hex is a connection between a witch and a victim. Find the witch, find the hex object, break the hex. These kids work together to solve the mystery of the hexer.
That they made it all about student elections made it kind of boring. It turns out that there are two hexes in the story, giving readers two stories in one.
Interesting supernatural YA mystery, but the ending was ironic and confusing.
